Half-Life’s headcrabs nearly had butts

Remember the overpowered headcrabs from Half-Life? Well, it turns out the prototype looked very different than the creatures we seen in the released version. They had considerably more booty. That’s right - buttcrabs.

As you can see, the general shape of the headcrab is the same but there’s a pretty noticeable difference. The prototype was covered in a faecal brown colour, had prominent buttcheeks and an anus; however the released version had no butt and was more of a creamy brown than a poop brown.

The reaction of Edwards’ followers was a suitable mix of awe, disgust and intrigue.
